The Arctous alpinus var. japonicus leaves on Mt. Midori are at their most beautiful right now.
Yellow Lagotis yesoensis and willow leaves can also be seen here and there and create a vibrant landscape. Additionally, communities of Arctous alpinus var. japonicus near the Itagaki junction are coloring in beautiful “festoons.” Climbers with extra time will find it worthwhile to continue from the peak to see them. Please note, however, that it can get quite cold when the wind is blowing. Make sure your experience is enjoyable by being prepared for the cold.
